KNUTSFORD Photographic Society members have been treated to another thrilling competition.

With only one round left of the open competition season, front runners in both the PDI and print categories are starting to emerge.

Technically strong photography with powerful imagery presented the L&CPU judge Nick Berentzen with quite a challenge.

Overall almost 80 images were commented on by Nick, who made the journey to Knutsford despite feeling very much under the weather.

Gordon Spruce completed the double by taking the PDI section with Digging Deep, and the print section with a close-up of the UK slalom champion, Mallory Franklin.

Roger Hume came second in the PDI section with Storm Clearing over the Alta.

Bill McCaig took third place with a very moody monochrome image, Steam, Smoke and Soot.
